Wisdom and intelligence work best in unison. What happens, however, when seemingly smart people fail to exercise wisdom, either in social discourse, clinical encounters, or even within the broader political arena? This morality tale, in which Wisdom and Smart take each other on in a debate at a local bar, illustrates the fallout, when these two are not on the same page.
